Gnome weather applet stranded
by isdtor 29 Aug '16

29 Aug '16

The Gnome weather report applet has ceased working on CentOS5/6. http://weather.noaa.gov/ says "This service is no longer available". Are there any good alternatives? I liked the applet as it allowed the use of a custom radar map. As I just discovered, the weather functionality of the CentOS6 Gnome clock applet was using the same service.

Off Topic: CentOS Public mirror question
by Valeri Galtsev 29 Aug '16

29 Aug '16

Dear All, My apologies for asking my question on less appropriate list. I did ask it on centos-mirror(a)centos.org, but that list is really low traffic (and slow response probably - I only got acknowledgement of my post...). On the other hand, I'm sure there are many public mirror maintainers on this list who may help me with my trouble. Upon replacing faulty machine hosting public mirrors I have noticed that I can not rsync CentOS (all other mirrors do rsync happily as they did on failed box). I probably have missed some announcement, so my apologies for asking what I should know already myself. Which higher tier mirror should I use to rsync CentOS from (including DVDs) to public mirror I maintain? I use probably outdated source to rsync from. Namely, here is my rsync line (in longer cron job): rsync -aqH --exclude .~tmp~/ --exclude .~tmp~ --delete\ msync-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd /data/mirror/centos - and I'm getting the following error: @ERROR: Unknown module 'CentOS-incdvd' I also tried what CentOS public mirror wiki suggests, and get similar error: rsync -aqH --exclude .~tmp~/ --exclude .~tmp~ --delete\ us-msync.centos.org::CentOS /data/mirror/centos @ERROR: Unknown module 'CentOS' Independent on this error I also have a bit strange answer in DNS resolution of msync-dvd.centos.org: # host msync-dvd.centos.org msync-dvd.centos.org has address 209.44.106.213 Host msync-dvd.centos.org not found: 2(SERVFAIL) I would appreciate any help or pointers. Thanks a lot in advance for all your answers!

BIND (named) as secondary and .jnl files
by Walter H. 28 Aug '16

28 Aug '16

Hello, I have two running BINDs in my LAN, one on my router box and one as VM; both are caching DNS servers, and a few zones are on both, on the box as master and on the VM as slave, but how can I cleanup/flush the growing .jnl files; rndc freeze rndc thaw doesn't work as these are not master ... Thanks, Walter

Kickstart issue with UEFi
by Phil Manuel 28 Aug '16

28 Aug '16

Hi, I have a test system that booted fine using "Legacy Bios” mode and using the following Kickstart snippet configured the disks correctly:- # Clear the Master Boot Record zerombr # Partition clearing information clearpart --all --initlabel # Disk partitioning information part raid.01 --fstype="raid" --ondisk=sda --size=500 part raid.02 --fstype="raid" --grow --ondisk=sda --size=1 part raid.03 --fstype="raid" --ondisk=sdb --size=500 part raid.04 --fstype="raid" --grow --ondisk=sdb --size=1 raid /boot --device=0 --fstype="xfs" --level=RAID1 raid.01 raid.03 raid pv.01 --device=1 --level=RAID1 raid.02 raid.04 For UEFi I changed it to the following:- # Clear the Master Boot Record zerombr # Partition clearing information clearpart --all --initlabel # Disk partitioning information part raid.01 --fstype="raid" --ondisk=sda --size=500 part raid.02 --fstype="raid" --grow --ondisk=sda --size=1 part raid.03 --fstype="raid" --ondisk=sdb --size=500 part raid.04 --fstype="raid" --grow --ondisk=sdb --size=1 raid /boot --device=0 --fstype="xfs" --level=RAID1 raid.01 raid.03 part /boot/efi —fstype=“efi” --grow --maxsize=200 --size=20 raid pv.01 --device=1 --level=RAID1 raid.02 raid.04 The install fails under UEFi due to the fact the partitions are not cleared, and it doesn’t have any space to continue. Is there an extra step I need to do to remove the original partitions before the new layout will work ? Thanks

CentOS 7 : keyboard shortcut for mouse gesture?
by Nicolas Kovacs 28 Aug '16

28 Aug '16

Hi, I have a CentOS 7 (GNOME) desktop installed as a VirtualBox guest on my Slackware64 14.1 workstation, to fiddle with it. Guest Additions are installed and configured OK, and 3D acceleration is working too. In its default configuration, the GNOME desktop under CentOS shows an "exposé" (I don't know how you call this), a list of all open windows, when you move the mouse cursor to the upper left corner of the screen. When no window is open, you just see the sidebar with the application launchers, and on the right side you see the empty virtual desktops. Is there a keyboard shortcut for this mouse gesture? I'm asking because on my dual-monitor workstation, the CentOS guest is displayed full-screen on my right monitor, and the mouse gesture seems to be ineffective. Thanks, Niki -- Microlinux - Solutions informatiques durables 7, place de l'église - 30730 Montpezat Web : http://www.microlinux.fr Mail : info(a)microlinux.fr Tél. : 04 66 63 10 32

Samba DC NT4 Style is Gone. When AD-DC will enable for default into Centos/RedHat Samba4 packages?
by Dario Lesca 27 Aug '16

27 Aug '16

This recent Microsoft's Patch https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2016-August/202197.html disable password change for all server Domain Controller NT4 Style, Samba 3 and 4 included. Then is urgent to enable, into Samba 4 Centos package by default support to AD-DC mode, or release another renamed packages with AD-DC support enable. For now, I must download the samba.src rpm, modify the spec file > sed \ > -e 's/%global with_mitkrb5 1/%global with_mitkrb5 0/' \ > -e 's/%global with_dc 0/%global with_dc 1/' \ > ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/samba.spec then rebuild the package after all update. My question is: There is some hope that in the short this flags are enable by default? Many thanks for your reply -- Dario Lesca (inviato dal mio Linux Fedora 24 Workstation)

I need glibc 2.19+ for 32 bit CentOS 6.8 or CentOS7
by Kay Schenk 26 Aug '16

26 Aug '16

Hello all-- Due to a proposed changeover to build machines for a project I'm involved with, I need at least glib 2.19. Right now I have glib 2.12, and even on CentOS7-32 bit, what I see is glib 2.14. Is a higher glib available anywhere that might work with my current 6.8. I see I can download it from SourceForge but I am wondering what the results might me. I really like CentOS and would hate to change distros at this point, but, well, it might come to that. :( Any advice truly appreciated. -- -------------------------------------------- MzK "God helps those who help themselves." -- popular adage
